| How You Can Help
Your Animal TTEAM and TTouch offer real
value for money. You can learn how you can help your animal by attending a workshop or by
working with a local Practitioner on a one to one basis.
One to One Sessions
You can call your local Practitioner and ask
them to visit your home or take your animal to the Practitioner. All qualified
Practitioners work on a one to one basis. Costs vary depending on area and skill level and
there may be some travel costs as well. You will be shown TTouches and leading exercises
if appropriate that you can do to help your companion animal overcome a variety of
problems. Many clients see a change in their pet within the first session although this
obviously depends on the longevity of the problem and possible contributory factors. |
Costs for a one to one session at Tilley
Farm and in the Bath/Bristol area, for companion animals and horses, by arrangement.
Travelling costs may be added if the animal is unable to come to Tilley Farm and lives
outside a 10 mile radius from the farm.
Workshops
You could also attend a workshop.
Practitioners qualified to Level 1 and above teach one day workshops and those qualified
to Practitioner Level 2 teach two day workshops. Costs vary depending on the skill level
of the Practitioner and the area. Many people who attend our workshops go on to train as
Practitioners.

What is The
Tellington TTouch?
The Tellington TTouch is a teaching method for
dogs and other animals that incorporates body work, and ground exercises where appropriate
to improve co-ordination, balance, and athletic ability whilst deepening further
communication and understanding between the animal and its owner/carer
TTouch helps increase levels of self
confidence and self-control.
TTouch is widely used around the world by
animal lovers and people who work with animals. It is not necessary to learn the whole
TTouch approach to help the animals in your care. Learning just a few of the body TTouches
by working with a trained Practitioner or attending a workshop can make a difference to an
animal's life.
Observations and Assessments
Visual observations and flat hand explorations
finds areas in the animal's body that indicate tension, fear of contact, memory of pain or
discomfort.
Body Work
Specific movements and TTouches are used to
improve circulation, release tension and promote a greater sense of well being.
Ground Exercises for Dogs
Leading exercises enable the dog to override
old patterns of movement and behaviour without the use of fear or force. The ground work
improves co-ordination, confidence, focus, self control, balance and co-operation.
TTouch in Rescue and Rehabilitation
Many of our Practitioners work closely with
local animal shelters. Staff workshops are taught in several national re-homing shelters.
If you would like to arrange for a Tellington TTouch talk/workshop at your animal home
please contact the U.K. office.
